Ok, I missed the, er, happy clown in the back of the third photo because I was too busy trying to decide if the one in front was supposed to look like it was on its hands and knees or not. Might just be an unfortunate head bobble placing, but man., that is one filthy cake.

Thanks to the mental associations created by today's post, I now have one less reason to buy 'food' at two of the major chains. Jack in particular should tell those under him (organizationally speaking) that they need to find a different way to tell people that he has taken the day off.

Now we know why clowns are so often (at least by wreckerators) depicted with x's for eyes -- they went blind.

This post completely reminds me of an email I got a few years ago. I'll have to send it to you!! It makes me feel a little like a pervert that I giggle through posts like these. I agree that there had to have been some "herbal influence" on these cakes.

It was a most egregious error that the 12 Cake Wrecks of Christmas wasn't recorded last year. However, you now have nearly a full CD's worth of songs if you add in what Ellen's been writing with your own parodies. (stern look) Do I need to be more clear?

I had just managed to FORGET the wizard display, thankyouverymuch, and you had to go and bring it up again. Now it will be haunting my thoughts once again, and I'll find myself muttering things like "Why was there SPAGHETTI in that window?!?"

What's a Wreck?

What's a Wreck?

A Cake Wreck is any cake that is unintentionally sad, silly, creepy, inappropriate - you name it. A Wreck is not necessarily a poorly-made cake; it's simply one I find funny, for any of a number of reasons. Anyone who has ever smeared frosting on a baked good has made a Wreck at one time or another, so I'm not here to vilify decorators: Cake Wrecks is just about finding the funny in unexpected, sugar-filled places.

Where's the book?

We don’t have any copies of Cake Wrecks for sale here, autographed or otherwise. We decided the shipping and handling costs would be too high to make it worth your while. So instead, buy your copies locally or online and then order personalized bookplates: it’s cheaper, easier, and I think even looks a bit nicer.
